Experiencing Solitude Through Travel
Summer’s officially here. To celebrate the first day of sunshine and warm weather, I rode out to the park with a mason jar of wine and snacks. Armed with only my knitting and Kobo, I was determined to make the most out of this day. I found a grassy patch that overlooked the dog park....
I Was Fired From My Job On The Cruiseship
Yes, I was fired from being a Cupcake Supervisor on board the Royal Caribbean International last year. On April 12th, 2012, I boarded the Legend of the Seas with wide-opened eyes, with absolutely no idea what I was in for. After a month into the role, I was ready to boot. Life started off great....

Life At Sea
Today marks my second month working on board the Royal Caribbean International’s Legend of the Seas as a Cupcake Supervisor. It has been an interesting adventure ride like none other. Words alone will not be able to paint a clear, concise picture of life on board a cruise ship because it is an experience which...
Camping at Cheakamus Lake, Garibaldi Park — British Columbia
When you put 1 Boy Scout leader, 2 Girl Guides and 1 St. John’s Ambulance Officer together for a camping trip, you end up with nothing but days of random adventures and fun. To start our journey off, we drove through a rough terrain and reached this snow covered road. Unable to drive through the...
